NBA season starts in 8 days. Right now here's our roster.
PG: Frank/Burke/Mudiay
SG: THJ/Lee/Dotson/Baker/Zo Trier
SF: Knox/Super Mario
PF: KP/Thomas/Hicks/Vonleh
C: Kanter/Robinson/Noah/Kornet
Obviously you got Noah. I don't know what the status is with him. If we lost Kornet I wouldn't lose any sleep. Same with Hicks. Give Zo the two way contract.
I'd still try to find a trade partner for Lee. Cut Mudiay. Yesterday.
I would cut Mudiay.
This team without KP is going to be very bad. I'm still excited to watch because of the youth and direction, but they are going to struggle most nights. Any lineup featuring Kanter, THJ and Mario is going to be very bad defensively.
Currently, that is allocated as follows:
The 15:
PG: Frank/Burke/Mudiay
SG: THJ/Lee/Dotson/Baker
SF: Knox/Herzonja
PF: KP/Thomas/Vonleh
C: Kanter/Robinson/Noah/Kornet
The 2:
Trier, Hicks
Id dump Hicks, Kornet and Baker. I know baker will cost money, but who cares. Get some guys with more upside then those three.

I think it's going to be Kornet. For some reason Fizdale still believes he can turn Mudiay around. I don't want to cut Baker. He plays defense and isn't too bad offensively. He's a decent player to have as depth. He won't be anything more though.

Baker might help win more games this year (though that’s a stretch), but that’s not the goal. Baker has no future in the leauge. And even if he did, he had no future with the Knicks. They will 100% renounce him at season’s end for cap space. There is no point to keeping him.
Fiz is not thinking about future on the team, he is thinking about this year...
Does Trier play defense?
they are 2 completely different players...
You're basing this off of 3 pre seasons games you've seen? Okayyyy.
Baker plays defense. Hustles. Not an exact black hole on offense. Trier right now has flashed potential. I'd like to keep both. You want to cut Boodiay or Hicks or Kornet? I'm fine with that.
Hopefully there's something to his offense besides running. Sounds like the Knicks will sub like a hockey team this year. I guess it makes sense - there's not much difference between the starters and reserves in terms of talent, so you might as well play them all.
Its not even close.
